what coins do dealers put in their shops' display case?

and why? When visiting dealers' stores, I sometimes see large displays, sometimes barely any and you have to ask the dealer to see stuff. Is this all a matter of space availability? Do dealers display their high end coins or do they cower them away in a safe and take them out on request?

My local guy likes to have one BIG coin in stock at all times such as a '56 flyer. He says when he goes to shows that a coin like that always has a way of attracting many people that want to just look at it.

That baby photo is priceless - but it needs a caption, like:

WOW! Check out that 56 Flyer!

When I had the stores, I always put a sample of everything in the cases. In the revolving case, next to the cash register, I always had certified gold and certified morgans always toward the top. They always caught the collector's eye and made them want to look at everything in the case. Cheaper stuff, I kept in pages in binders behind the counter.
